Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LAX to CLD last minute?
When it comes to booking your flights, being prepared pays dividends. While it's possible to score a deal on a LAX to CLD flight at the last minute, prices usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days in advance. For international flights it's three to four months.
